Frequently asked questions
What exactly does this tool check?
It queries the public RDAP registries for .ca, .com, .net, .org, .io, .co, .ai, .app, .dev and .quebec for the name you enter. Each extension comes back as available, taken or unknown if the registry does not respond. You also get up to 6 suggested variants on .ca and .com.
Can I register my domain here?
No. This tool only checks availability, it does not register or sell domain names and does not recommend a specific registrar. Once you pick a name, you register it yourself with the registrar of your choice, using your own registrant details.
What does CIRA require for a .ca domain?
CIRA, the .ca registry, requires the registrant to meet its Canadian presence requirements at registration. This tool only checks whether the name is free, it does not verify eligibility, so confirm your Canadian presence with the registry or an accredited registrar before you register.
Why consider .quebec for a local business?
The .quebec extension clearly signals a business or organization tied to Quebec, which can reinforce local roots for a bilingual Quebec audience. It is usually registered alongside a .ca or .com, not used on its own as the business's only active domain.
